Ivory Coast ex-rebel leader and former premier Guillaume Soro, whose bid for the presidency has been invalidated by a court, insisted Thursday his candidacy was "irrevocable" even as he attacked the October 31 elections as a scheme to enshrine 78-year-old Alassane Ouattara as head of state.

"My candidacy is firm, unchangeable and irrevocable," Soro told journalists in Paris, adding his country was "on the brink" since President Alassane Ouattara's decision to seek a third term in office.

Soro urged the country's opposition parties to unite against Ouattara even as he insisted that the October 31 presidential poll "does not make any sense" as it was designed to "endorse the institutional state coup d'etat of Alassane Ouattara".

Soro, who served as prime minister from 2007 to 2012, urged Ivory Coast opposition leaders to unite and to "seize (regional bloc) ECOWAS in order to obtain transparent elections".

And he insisted that on October 31, "there will be no election", without further explanation.

Ivory Coast's top court rejected 40 presidential election candidates, validating the contested bid of the incumbent head of state but sidelining his predecessor, Laurent Gbagbo and Soro, a one-time Ouattara ally.

On Tuesday the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights called on the Ivorian authorities to allow Soro to contest the vote.

Tensions are running high ahead of the poll in the West African state where more than 3,000 people died in post-election violence in 2010-1Read More – Source
